Okay, knowing there is no way they could fit in all the book's details into a 2 hour movie, I went in expecting parts to be cut. But they managed to compress things very well! The casting was perfect! Almost as I had imagined them when reading the books! I was amazed how they handled the whole "daylight" scene - and the love/chemistry between Bella & Edward was spot-on! It was a wonderful movie - I want the soundtrack! Can't wait for the other 3 books to be made into movies, and the DVD's to come out! This is NOT just a movie for the "tweenies" - I'm 54 years old and hooked as well!
